    4.5.2 Environment Status For both measurements, a graduated gauge proposes the following functions: The cursor indicates the current value. Two red zones to the left and right represent the high and low thresholds that can be set on the Environment Settings page. When the measured value enters one of these zones, an alarm can be notified (see Notification parameter in the Environment Settings page).
  • Page 43: Environment Settings

    4.5.3 Environment Settings The environment sensor measures temperature, humidity and gives the status of the 2 contacts (used for door, alarms or generator unit). The temperature and humidity thresholds can be adjusted and can trigger notification and correct shutdown of the protected system. The Sensor name is the function name given to the sensor, usually it enables location of the sensor.
  • Page 44 Humidity High threshold: If this value is exceeded, a notification is sent if this is validated. The default value is 90%. Low threshold: If this value is exceeded, a notification is sent if this is validated. The default value is 5%. Hysteresis must be set to prevent multiple notifications if humidity fluctuates around a threshold.
